Hello again.. I was thinking about installing a sx-175 cab on my omegaforce S45hp. Seeing that it already has the rfx-75 pre installed from the factory does anyone know of any one who has done this?

the sx-175 was designed for radios with a front
mic . your s45 has dual side mics, i highly doubt
it will work.however there another one called
a rfx 150 it fits on back of radio same as the rfx 75.

Very true.. would u happen to know if I would need to relocate the driver and final from the rfx 75 to the inside of the chassis? If I am not mistaken, and I could be, the rfx 150 is a stand alone unit. If I were to set it up correctly, I could use the rfx 75 as a driver for the rfx 150. As long as I dont feed it too much.

not really sure what you mean?? both units
have everything inside the box. both stand alone
the rfx 75 would be WAY too much drive. and not
recommended.

I was assuming that the rfx 75 pre installed from the manufacturer was necessary for the function of the radio, that is why I thought the internals would need to be relocated. If they are both stand alone units, should be an easy swap. Now.. I do not have the proper equipment needed for an alignment, in your opinion, would you recomend getting it aligned after I install the rfx 150...? I would assume so, but ...

you know who knows what thier doing do it.
i never done it but ive looked quickly thru the
instructions and YES you would have to at least
check the biasing level on the finals and adjust
am/ssb power.
